Dude, get alpine. The sound quality is superb. I have used 2 alpine players..... now going for the 3rd one.............simply because thot of upgrading. Alpine players are from japan so imagine the quality lah. Get it from the authorised dealer only because he knows the best. Do u know that i came all the way from Sbn to Sunway juz to get it.........ha ha ha simply because he is the authorised dealer. Anyway juz an opinion only, u r free to choose any players to ur taste. Happy shopping

Sunway.,. must be JS...

Alpines are good as they include many featuers but I find the sound to be not as good as other brands... its too clear and the vocals r thin. BUt the features they have can even it up.

Yah, it's JS. Depends on the song also lah. Like my one got built in amp............not so powerfull like the external one but good for standard speakers. I like it very much........there is so many function there.............u can tune it according to ur taste..........hmmm....it can play mp3, wma, wav.............that's kool man

Alpine did produce some low end HU which is for the price is expensive. no one did ask him his budget and what kind of HU is he looking for.

 

[cws]

thanks all shifu..
i have no budget for the HU, as long as it's powerful & user friendly..
still the question, which specified brand & model should i choose?
thanks...

 

[Yong_5290]

low budget...then get the pioneer 4650 o 5650...

Dude, have u gonne around the town to survey ?

 

[Master D]

I think you would have to state how much you are willing to spend on a HU for anyone to list out your options.

HUs can cost hundreds and thousands and even tens of thousands....

;)

 

[Revo]

Budget HU can go Brothers and get. Some Rm199 got a CD player...

 

[ravis]

Revo, r u sure u wan him to go to Brothers, it's a cut throt island accessories shop. Trust me, the cheap items from there does not last long.........

 

[Yong_5290]

erm...i think brother is selling pioneer hu cheaper than any1 else in town lah...(well...at least my place)

i'm using alpine HU now, but it start to choosing disk oldi where now it only can play with original disk. actually i like alpine HU alot cause the sound quality really so crystal clear.. but, i found most of the alpine player will have such of problem after few years used. i'm looking for a long lasting player with high quality which not more than RM 3500... how abt the pioneer player with build in lcd like AVH-P6650DVD or AVH-P7550DVD?

 

[appleyard]

lots of ppl switched from Alpine to Pioneer. What are you looking for actually? Funtions, clarity, power or DVD playback? Why not budget around RM2.5K for a HU and invest RM1K for something else to improve SQ.
